Final day in ICU! Thanks be to God!

From the Diocese website:
Tuesday 12/1/09

Today will be the last day that Fr. Nigel Mumford will be in the ICU. We Praise You Lord and we thank You for all of the healing that is taking place! He will be moving to “Rehab” for his physical rehabilitation. He will be strengthening his muscles, especially his legs. He is fighting severe dizziness and nausea when he tries to stand, which is understandable after all of this time on his back. This is his 53 rd day in the hospital! He said that his head is spinning as though he were on a merry-go-round. As a result of all of this time in the hospital, he has developed a bedsore that is causing him serious pain and discomfort.



As Fr. Nigel has taught us to pray, we will pray as accurately as possible. Please pray for:

Relief from the nausea and dizziness as he tries to stand

Healing of the bed sore

Strengthening of all of his muscles, but especially for his legs, so that he can “walk out of the darkness”, as he put it

Continued healing of his lungs

Strength for Lynn as she ministers to Fr. Nigel


Glory to God for the miracle that He has worked through Fr. Nigel. “Glory to You, Lord God of our fathers; You are worthy of praise: Glory to You.” BCP 90



As it turns out, the 300+ E-cards that Fr. Nigel received at Saratoga Hospital, although they were a bit of an inconvenience, they were actually also a gift. Fr. Nigel told me that the volunteers that were printing the messages were reading them as they were printing them, and your messages were ministering to the volunteers and the staff. God works in wondrous ways. Today will be the last day that you will be able to send Fr. Nigel an E-card. If you have already sent one, then please don’t send another, but if you haven’t - today is your day. http://www.saratogacare.org/



Blessings to all of you for your continued prayer for Fr. Nigel and your Praise of our Lord, who is our healer and redeemer.
